Yes. Great Salt Lake is home to numerous types of phytoplankton which are microscopic photosynthetic organisms. There are diatoms, green algae, and cyanobacteria which have adapted to live in the hypersaline conditions present. The phytoplankton supports a large population of brine shrimp that feed on them which are then an important food source for millions of migratory birds!
